Last year, the cost of food items for a traditional Thanksgiving meal was at its lowest since 2010, according to Arizona Farm Bureau. This year, it is predicted to be just a little lower, with the falling price of some grocery items credited to tariffs as farmers lose their overseas markets.
Consumer Price Index: The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs fell 1.0 percent in September, with all its major component indexes falling. The fruits and vegetables index also fell, declining 0.5 percent. The index for dairy and related products declined 0.3 percent.
